| Questions about an AVR If you’re using the RCA analog outputs the processing is likely being handled by the Blu Ray player so any AVR will work. | |
| Speaker Break-in Even if the surrounds are already compliant, the electronics in the crossover will likely benefit from some break in. I’d give them at leas 100 hours before making any critical judgements. Congrats on some great new speakers. Enjoy! | |
| Look for more pleasing IEM than S12 Pro Here are some IEMs I reviewed that I think will offer the bass your looking for but with more audiophile refinement and less fatigue in the upper mid and treble regions. https://theheadfijourneyman.com/2021/08/11/tin-hifi-t5-iems/ If you wanna st... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 or Pass Labs Int-250 to Sonus faber Amati Tradition @habermas Did you actually compare the Boulder and the Vitus to the Diablo? If so, in what areas did the Vitus and Boulder disappoint? I was going to recommend the OP add Vitus to their list, but it all depends on what improvements they’re looki... | |
| Digital Cable Recommendations I’d recommend trying this Acoustic Zen MC2. I got one and it blew me away and does everything well. If it doesn’t blow away your Nordost just turn around and sell it. Best of luck. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaj916-acoustic-zen-mc2-digita... | |

| CD and Network Streamers You could get an Innuos Zen Mini streamer/server that has its own CD drive and internal storage so you can simply load all your CDs into it and have access to all your music in any order you wish from your chair along with a good streamer (and no ... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation What sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k I ask again, what improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? Otherwise you’ll just keep getting recommendations that other people like, which may have nothing to do with what you like. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary IME there was no downside to using i2S, only big upside. No loss of tonality, etc., just a big increase in overall transparency and clarity. | |
| Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 vs Bryston BP 26 Apples and oranges. If you’re looking for a more tube sound go for the SF, but if you’re looking for a more neutral/detailed solid state sound the Bryston is excellent. | |
| PS Audio S300 amplifier- tube preamplifier recommendation Would be most helpful if you’d share what improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| Can monitors sit on a TV console instead of stands? They will sound better on stands — more space to breathe and more flexibility in placement. | |
| Qobuz Coming to Canada!!! Qobuz offers plenty of new artists and a lot more music in hi res without the need for Tidal’s MQA BS. Lots of people here (including me) have switched from Tidal to Qobuz and not looked back. There may be three people here who have switched fro... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary Agree with @fthompson251 about the Hermes if it’s in the budget, or alternatively you could look at the Musician Leo that’s very similar but like $600 less expensive. Still, the Iris or Musician Pisces will still make big improvements if you don’t... |
